About us
The research carried out in the group is in the areas of Synthetic, Medical and Bioorganic Chemistry. The lines that are currently active are focused on:
- Design and synthesis of bioactive compounds against targets involved in renal disease
- Development of new synthetic methodologies
- Synthesis, reactivity and applications of azaborines
- Development of new agents for cell staining and bioimaging
The group is currently financed with competitive projects from Ministerio Economía, Industria y Competitividad, Instituto de Salud Carlos III, Comunidad de Madrid (Biomedicine program) y Universidad de Alcalá.
It is integrated in prestigious research networks such as RETICS (Red Temática de Investigación Cooperativa en Salud, Instituto de Salud Carlos III), IRICYS (Instituto Ramón y Cajal de Investigación Sanitaria), NOVELREN – Comunidad de Madrid (Enfermedad Renal Crónica: Nuevas Estrategias para la Prevención, Diagnóstico y Tratamiento) and belongs to Instituto de Investigación Química Andrés M. del Río (IQAR).
